Few things are as delightful as cuddling up under a soft, fuzzy blanket when there’s a chill in the air. (We’d go so far as to say this is one of the best parts of winter!) Fuzzy blankets can also add a pop of color to your bedroom, replace more conventional bedding options, or pull together the decor in your bedroom and/or living room.
How do you find the best fuzzy blanket for your needs? In our opinion, you should prioritize comfort above all else. After all, nobody wants to snuggle under a scratchy blanket! Beyond comfort, it’s also helpful to consider your aesthetic preferences, budget, and functional needs. Then consult this list to find the right fuzzy blanket for you.

How We Picked
When it comes to evaluating a fuzzy blanket, we have a pretty singular focus: Is it comfortable? We only selected blankets that are soft, cozy, plush, and comfy. There’s simply no point investing in a fuzzy blanket that’s anything else!
Beyond comfort, we also considered the following.
Aesthetics
Everybody has different design preferences when it comes to the aesthetics of their bedroom or living room, so we included blankets in a variety of styles and colors so there’d be something for pretty much everyone.
No matter your color preferences or whether you prefer the look of flannel, faux fur, corduroy, or something else, you should find what you’re looking for on this list.
Cost
The blankets on this list are all under $60, and some are under $20. We included options from across this price range so you could find a blanket that is suited to your budget.
Customizability
Every bedroom is different, and that means any fuzzy blanket roundup should accommodate different needs. This list includes reversible blankets, smaller blankets, oversized throws, and everything in between. Select what works best for your own bedroom and your preferred blanket use.
Weight
Some people prefer to feel swaddled beneath a heavy blanket, while others prefer the feel of a lightweight blanket. Weight can also affect warmth; if you live in a warm climate, you might prefer a lighter-weight blanket, while people who are looking for a fuzzy blanket for the winter might want an extra-warm or heavy blanket.
We included blankets of different weights so you can choose what best suits your needs.
Sleepopolis Buying Tips
Ready to find the best fuzzy blanket for your needs? Zero in on the right blanket for you by asking yourself the following:
- Why do you want a blanket? Are you planning to replace your comforter with a fuzzy blanket? Then make sure you get one large enough for your bed. Do you want something to snuggle under while sitting on your favorite chair? Maybe consider a smaller throw. Are you looking to add a pop of color to your bedroom? Choose accordingly.
- What are your sizing needs? Nobody wants to pull a soft blanket up to their chin, only to have their feet pop out from the bottom. Make sure you think about your size and the size of the furniture where you’re planning to throw the blanket so you can find the right fit.
- What are your aesthetic preferences? Consider the style of throw that you’re looking for: Do you want a solid color, or plaid design? Do you like the look of corduroy, or do you prefer a faux fur aesthetic? Answering these questions will help you rule out various options.
Finding the best fuzzy blanket for you is like finding a new friend. That blanket will be with you on cold nights, during snuggle sessions with your partner, and while you’re curled up with a favorite book or TV show. Choose wisely, and you’ll enjoy soft, cuddly comfort for years to come.
